Hi all, We're now marking hyperlinks in message bodies with the "nofollow" attribute. This technique is designed to discourage a certain type of spam, and you can read more about it here [1] if you are interested.
I don't think this change will cause any problems for anyone - of course speak up if you notice anything weird. This is being announced for two reasons: 1) Although this technique was developed for blogs, I think it has significant relevance to mailing list archives. 2) Deterrents don't work if they are kept secret. (I learned this by watching the movie "Dr. Strangelove") Cheers, Jeff [1] http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html _______________________________________________ Discussion list for The Mail Archive Gossip@jab.org http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
